<p>My dear friend Gabrielle Bernstein&rsquo;s second book, Spirit Junkie: A Radical Road to Self-Love and Miracles, is being published by Random House September 12. It&rsquo;s part memoir and part road map: Gabby shares her journey toward becoming the full-on, inspirational Spirit Junkie that she is today, and she teaches her readers every lesson she learned along the way.</p>
<p>Check out the Spirit Junkie trailer (&nbsp;<a href="http://gabbyb.tv">http://gabbyb.tv</a>/) for a taste of what&rsquo;s in store. And visit Gabby&rsquo;s website (&nbsp;<a href="http://gabbyb.tv">http://gabbyb.tv</a>/) to learn more about her and watch some of her short vlogs.</p>
<p>The New York Times Sunday Styles section called Gabby a &ldquo;a new role-model&rdquo;&mdash;because that&rsquo;s exactly what she is. Gabrielle&rsquo;s positive energy is infectious! I&rsquo;ve marked September 12 on my calendar, and I hope you&rsquo;ll pick up your own copy of Spirit Junkie when it hits the shelves that day.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">There's no denying the knowledge, expertise and kindness of Glen and Lisa. So of course Catch a Healthy Habit Cafe is a uniquely raw success in Fairfield.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">I've known Glen since his days as program director at the Wakeman Boys and Girls Club in Southport, and he'd come into Callie's Marketplace to buy fruit. "Making smoothies with the kids," he'd announce with a wide smile. "It's so important for them to be involved with the production. And they love the taste!"</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">Lisa appeared in my life at a Raw Preparation class with the Westport Continuing Education. Lisa's class was informative and fun, and a great introduction to raw vegan cuisine. And she had a special glow about her that comes from inner health and a balance of body, mind and spirit.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">In the past few years I've watched the two of them connect and grow into their roles at Catch a Healthy Habit Cafe, which started in West Haven in 2007 and then relocated to Fairfield in 2009. The cafe is raw vegan energy at its finest. From the moment you step inside the fresh, clean food aroma sweeps you off your feet. Glen and Lisa have fashioned health and wellness into an inviting go-to place for all to enjoy, whether you're new to raw and dabbling, are a dedicated raw foodie, or somewhere in between.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">It is a pleasure to introduce you to Glen and Lisa and show you around their lives.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">In peace &amp; raw wellness,</span></p>

Well at one point in my life I did. I loved every minute of it. Tons of smoothies, fruity ones, green ones &amp; superfood injected ones. Some juice but not alot, salads in waves, lots of nuts, nut milks, nut-o-la, nut pate &amp; nut cheese. As the saying goes "eat too many nuts &amp; go nuts. Well NUTS I went. Around&nbsp;November of 2010 I allowed some cooked food back in to the diet. Some cooked grains, veggies &amp; pasta's here and there. It made eating out with family and friends easier <br />and less combative.&nbsp;<br />How did I feel during this time? My energy was not always as high, some constipation, &nbsp;overall not a big shift, no hospital visits... Then Lisa Wilson, founder of the Raw Food Institute, invited me to participate in<br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://therawfoodinstitute.com/rfi-program/rawgust/">RAWGUST a&nbsp;<strong>30 Day Raw Food Challenge&nbsp;</strong>where you pledge to go 100% raw (or as close to it as you can)</a><br /></span>Well I am RAW again.

Do you know where your food comes from? Who grew or produced your food and drink? Does it matter to you if your chicken breast came from a chicken that never saw the light of day, ate food they were not meant to eat or were in a large room with 5,000 other beak-less chickens until slaughter? How about your milk coming from cows that are injected with growth hormones and medications to allow them the stay in a continued state of pregnancy in order to deliver more milk than cows should? Then that milk goes into a vat with milk from hundreds of other cows, get pasteurized, homogenized, synthetic vitamins and minerals are added back in and cartoned, then trucked many many miles? For most of fairfield county eating factory farmed meat and processed dairy is the norm. "Hey if the food wasn't safe then the FDA would do something about it. Right?<br /> <br /> Well Kristin found out that the FDA is doing something about food safety! They are organizing raids and harassing food and milk producers all over the country. They are coming in with swat teams, inspectors and sheriffs with search warrants, of course. Are they raiding the dairy farms of "Dean Foods" the countries largest dairy or Tyson Foods, the largest meat producer in the world? No, this movie documents the raids on many small family owned farms, costing taxpayers millions! Why?? The other side was not open to discuss this question in the movie. My version of why is that less family farms equals more profit for the Corporations. The 2005 sales of $26 billion for Tyson foods must improve every year to satisfy shareholders. The big picture of Food Security is under attack.&nbsp; &ldquo;Farmageddon&rdquo;&nbsp; spews this all over the big screen for everybody to see. <br /> <br /> It may create a tear or two along with some create anger as was shared in the Q &amp; A after with Kristin, that is okay if we the people act. If we begin to wake up to corporation controlled government and their agenda, there is still time to full heartly support local farms and use the only thing we have that the corporations care about, money! Use your money on real food and real &ldquo;raw milk&rdquo;.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span>Kristin Canty, mother of four, learned that raw milk could help one of her sons suffering from multiple allergy and asthma when medications were not working. She added in raw milk and watched him drastically improve. Because of what she learned about small family owned farms getting raided, she acted out and created this movie. You do not have to make a movie to make a difference, your next purchase, your next conversion, your next decision of what to put into your mouth is the best place to start.<br /></span></p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Check Out My New Blog at Fairfield Patch!</title><id>http://catchahealthyhabit.com/blog/2011/6/8/check-out-my-new-blog-at-fairfield-patch.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://catchahealthyhabit.com/blog/2011/6/8/check-out-my-new-blog-at-fairfield-patch.html"/><author><name>Catch A Healthy Habit Cafe</name></author><published>2011-06-08T16:35:33Z</published><updated>2011-06-08T16:35:33Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://fairfield.patch.com/blog_posts/fairfield-connecticuts-healthiest-town">You Are What You Eat Drink &amp; Think!</a><br />appearing Bi-Weekly on Fairfield Patch!&nbsp;</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>David Wolfe</title><id>http://catchahealthyhabit.com/blog/2011/6/3/david-wolfe.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://catchahealthyhabit.com/blog/2011/6/3/david-wolfe.html"/><author><name>Catch A Healthy Habit Cafe</name></author><published>2011-06-03T22:55:52Z</published><updated>2011-06-03T22:55:52Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p><strong><em><span><span><strong>"</strong></span><strong>BEGINNING JUNE 4TH THE SEARCH BEGINS FOR THE&nbsp;<br /></strong><span><strong><span><span><strong><em><span><span><strong><span>"</span></strong></span></span></em></strong></span>5&nbsp;</span><span>GOLDEN TICKETS!"</span><br />WHAT ARE "GOLDEN TICKETS"?&nbsp;<br />Tickets to see David Wolfe for FREE + a font row seat!<br />WHERE CAN THE "GOLDEN TICKETS" BE FOUND?<br />In bags of our famous Kale Chips!&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;</strong></span></span></em></strong></p>
